Rear View #2

This challenge is repeated by request. It's the end of the year, so let's see some end views of insects, spiders and other arthropods. We spend so much time trying to capture the faces and eyes of these creatures that we often overlook their interesting and often colourful abdomens Show us their rear view, (not side or front views.) Macro and close-up shots welcome. The creatures should be outside, on flowers, leaves, flying or sitting around, or just doing what they do best. SIZE: 1,600px MAXIMUM ON LONGER SIDE.
